Five women from two families were each fined RM1,000 after pleading guilty to committing affray at the Melor public market on December 25.
The women—Rozita Ramli, 47, her daughter Aleeya Maisara Hasbullah, 19, daughter-in-law Siti Nor Bakyah Abdullah, 19, as well as Siti Sara Suaini, 30, and her younger sister Siti Mastura Suaini, 28—appeared in the Magistrate’s Court today and admitted to the offence under Section 160 of the Penal Code.
The offence carries a maximum penalty of six months’ imprisonment, a fine of RM1,000, or both.
The case gained attention after a video of the fight at the Melor market went viral last Thursday, leading to the arrest of 12 individuals in connection with the incident.
